Khora: a place>>> Memory Decontamination
Art & Space
By Jesenko Tesan
A place where I cleanse memory from memory in order to learn to be free. Free from war. Free from…In Timaeus Plato refers to it as a kind of bastard of Logos (reasoning). He says, before the creation of the world space was in chaos or disorderly movement. Khora is receptacle mother womb-place. Khora a place of becoming. Khora matter and chaos before the birth of reason. The intelligible which is clear in itself. Khora is nothing. It is non-being. It is chaos. It is uncanny negation after the eternal act of self-revelation. Today logos rules. It wants to save the world from chaos. Yet chaos still can break through once again. Khora original order and form. Logos: male principle incapable of constructing for itself. Khora eternal and greatest>>>Principle for being.
“PERIFERY”CREATIVE IMPERATIVE?
The Universe is creative force rather than uncreative. Balkan instrument Gusle and artist Guslar is creative imperative: secret alchemy of poetry.
— Was Plato against this kind of art? Against Gusle and Guslars?

“Unschooling” Movement
It all begins with an idea. The world is our classroom. A typical school day starts with the children entering classroom. The teacher walks in. The doors are closed. Not with us. The typical classroom starts with students in relaxing atmosphere connected with the nature. Doors? We do not have doors. But more about it with Georg Simmel... TAXI wit us into the new concept in the Balkan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where there is no "one size fits all" style for students. We want to learn and express ourselves in ways of "unschooling" movement, which lets students and teachers direct learn from the nature.

Olympic Spirit: Sarajevo 1984?

1984
During the Olympics, Sarajevo and B&H paraded its patchwork of diverse faiths, capricious ethnicities, and real or imagined identities, coexisting peacefully at the crossroads of cultures, religions, markets, and political systems. The Olympic committee recognized and embraced the special character of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia. The 1984 Winter Olympics marked the first games held in a socialist country. Of course, Yugoslavia maintained its neutrality, and both American and Soviet athletes competed. The Cold War was thawing, and tolerant Sarajevo in neutral Yugoslavia seemed the perfect location. The international press portrayed the city as a utopia offering the possibility of a peaceful world.
Sarajevo and B&H became the world’s epicenter. The Olympic slogan: Citius, Altius, Fortius—Communiter! (Faster, Stronger, Higher—Together) rang true. I was there for this exhilarating experience. I remember the opening ceremony of the games. The atmosphere was electrifying, with kiosks greeting visitors in the appropriate language.Crowds waited for athletes to sign autographs. Collectors purchased and traded pins and badges from the corners of the globe. These tokens are a special aspect of the culture of the Olympic games. Sarajevo’s old town center, Baščaršija, was filled with people trading the Olympic pins and badges. At monumental sporting events people want a souvenir so they can tangibly retain the memory of their experience. Initially, my friends and I did not realize the significance of the bartering, but quickly we appreciated that the pins we earned for excellence in elementary school now possessed value. Tourists wanted the pins with communist symbols and Cyrillic letters.

Looking for Problems in the name resolution: Art and Design ?
Designing for Problems in the name of resolution?— Art and Design ? the Austro/German school of ethnic sociology comes to my mind in particular Richard Thurnwald and his notion on Dorfstaat — village-state. The village-state, according to Dugin, “is an alternative view of politics from the perspective of the ethnos naturally living in balance with the environment.” Dugin aside for the moment let's concentrate on Thurnwald and Benjamin von Kállay (1839-1903) and their role in the discotheque of chaos.
